Orchid

Sample: An orchid petal.
Source: This was in the refrigerator for some reason. Strange.

I love orchids. Fantastic colors, lovely symmetry. A great product of evolution.

Some of these images lack the crispness, contrast, and precision that I prefer from my pictures, but they nonetheless retain some aesthetic value.

Also, those little bumpy things all over the petal give me the willies, but they nonetheless retain some aesthetic value.
